A smiling man with long dark hair swept back stands outdoors against a plain pale sky, holding a silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. He wears a deep maroon-red shawl draped over his shoulders and a double-strand of large brown rudraksha beads, with more rudraksha bracelets on his wrists. A yellow-ochre tilak marks his forehead with a red bindi at its centre. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, ochre tilak and rudraksha malas match the candidate's presentation, so the figure is identified as Swamiji by appearance only. The silver trident and maroon shawl are the most prominent objects in the frame.
